Which character do you equate yourself with the most?

LoL. Prehaps a poor choice of words considering the context. My point being, that I really like all the characters. By this point in, we have multiple sides to every character. KC and crew have given them great depth. I probably identify closest with SSG Michael Cross, myself former Army MI. Once you spend some time in the Intelligence community you come to a way of thinking about the world. Some may call it cynical, others analytical; I call it attention to detail. Observing, analyzing, identifying. Anyway I lost my train of thought. . . .

When I visualize Scratch, I think Fujin from FFVIII, with dark hair and the fascial scar.

I strongly identify with Burt, and the loss of his wife to cancer. My mother fell to cancer as well, almost one year ago, now. It’s been a hard road. At first I fell into darkness for awhile, then, over time, the clouds parted. And now I’m mostly okay, but sometimes it hits me like a ton of bricks, completely unexpected. I see or hear something that reminds me of her or I think of something to tell her and I’ll pick up the phone before I remember that she’s gone.

See I’m really getting off topic. I guess I’ll try to catch a later train . . . .


Until next time.

I'm sorry for your loss :(

Back again.
Wow. I was everywhere. I blame it on low blood sugar.
Anyway, back to my point with Burt, his lost still effects him deeply.
In fact, his psychological problems even manifest themselves as a physically as a tremor.
At least, I hope its in his head. He very well could be sick in addition to the wounds he sustained
after the Fall.

I think I would relate most to Lizzy. Lots of book smarts, not a lot of street smarts, but getting there. I would also have the need to do more with my life then just survive. I'm very curious and organized, so all that testing and experimenting would be right up my alley. She seems rather calm and collected most of the time, not afraid to speak up, but knows when to keep her mouth shut. I also just like to help people when I can.

If I hadn't discovered the Visual Effects major, I probably would have gone into psychology sort of like Lizzy and just breezed along not really wanting to do anything with it, so luckily we are not similar in that way lol.

A super hybrid cross or weird mixture between Michael, Saul, Kalani, Datu and Tommy.

Michael - At first hesitant to lead but will do so if needed/chosen. I'd normally try to reason things out before resorting to violence.
Saul - A bit crass, hot-head (resulting from frustration from trying to reason things out) and follows orders (for the most part)
Kalani - Argumentative, physically challenged (not completely hopeless but, eh).
Datu - Ready and willing to help in anyway possible, rational, will bite back if pushed to far
Tommy - Naive

HOWEVER, if I did have to narrow it down to one character, I'd probably go with Kalani. Untrusting at first, I'd eventually warm up to the group and add my two cents in when I can/know better. I'd give orders when I'm more astute in something (i.e. Kalani's piloting abilities) and help out when I can, sometimes getting into arguments when I disagree strongly with something.

I was going to say Burt & Lizzy's bouncing baby boy, but that's a couple seasons down the road well after Saul FINALLY turns I'm afraid. For now, I'll say I'm most like Burt.

I think I relate to most Michael. While I am not a leader, I generally do not panic in situations. I over analyze most things (situations, people etc.) I almost always have a plan. Beat myself up over decisions I make. And am willing to do what is necessary when need be.

I have to say I see myself relating more to Pegs. Like her if someone didn't come to my rescue near the beginning of the apocalypse i probably wouldn't have made it. Shes a good hearted person and is a pacifist in the beginning. I can see myself in her position. Wanting to help but having no particular skills to do so. I would end up just like her clinging to the closest person to a friend i could find and hoping for something to do but in the end becoming somewhat of an annoyance. I am against violence and the thought of holding a gun makes my hands shake. I would try as hard as i could to be of use but somehow manage to mess it up like she did with the flower pot. I don't doubt that i would end up doing something stupid like that...... of course if it came down to changing my beliefs or saving someone i love I have no doubt in my mind that i would step up to the occasion. I only hope that i could grow as much as she did in season 2.

No one yet I am to kick ass for all of them

I can relate to several characters. Probably Michael more than anyone. I am the type of person that could lead BUT I question myself a lot. I like his character and his overall work ethic and teamwork. I have pieces of me that relate to other characters that are just likes more than anything. I like Burt because of his experience and love of fireams and Riley because of her archery skills. Im not to bad with a bow myself. Also I like Bricks because if all else would fail I would like to think I would just beat the heck out of a baddie if need be.
